WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces los hombres de Quiriat-jearim fueron y subieron el Arca de Yavé a la región montañosa. La pusieron en casa de Abinadab y consagraron a Eleazar, su hijo, para que guardara el Arca de Yavé.
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took Yahweh’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep Yahweh’s ark.
2 Desde el día cuando el Arca quedó en Quiriat-jearim pasaron muchos días, 20 años, y toda la casa de Israel lamentaba tras Yavé.
2 From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh.
3 Samuel habló a toda la casa de Israel: Si vuelven a Yavé con todo su corazón, quiten de en medio de ustedes los ʼelohim extraños y a Astarot, preparen su corazón para Yavé y sirvan solo a Él, Él los librará de la mano de los filisteos.
3 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
4 Los hijos de Israel quitaron los baales y a Astarot, y sirvieron solo a Yavé.
4 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only.
5 Luego dijo Samuel: Reúnan a todo Israel en Mizpa, y yo oraré a Yavé por ustedes.
5 Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”
6 Se reunieron en Mizpa. Sacaron agua y la derramaron delante de Yavé. Ayunaron aquel día allí y dijeron: ¡Pecamos contra Yavé! Y Samuel juzgó a los hijos de Israel en Mizpa.
6 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7 Cuando los filisteos oyeron que los hijos de Israel se reunieron en Mizpa, los jefes de los filisteos subieron contra Israel. Al oír esto, los hijos de Israel tuvieron temor a los filisteos.
7 When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Los hijos de Israel dijeron a Samuel: No ceses de clamar a Yavé nuestro ʼElohim por nosotros para que nos salve de mano de los filisteos.
8 The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
9 Samuel tomó un corderito lechal y lo ofreció entero en holocausto a Yavé. Samuel clamó a Yavé por Israel, y Yavé lo escuchó.
9 Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
10 Aconteció que mientras Samuel ofrecía el holocausto, los filisteos llegaron para combatir a Israel. Pero Yavé tronó aquel día con grande estruendo sobre los filisteos y los desbarató. Fueron derrotados delante de Israel.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
11 Los hombres de Israel salieron de Mizpa, persiguieron a los filisteos y los mataron hasta más abajo de Bet-car.
11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.
12 Luego Samuel tomó una piedra y la asentó entre Mizpa y Sen. La llamó Ebenezer y dijo: Hasta aquí nos ayudó Yavé.
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.”
13 Así los filisteos fueron sometidos, y no volvieron a entrar dentro del límite de Israel. La mano de Yavé estuvo contra los filisteos todos los días de Samuel.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. Yahweh’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Las ciudades que los filisteos les tomaron fueron restituidas a los hijos de Israel, desde Ecrón hasta Gat. Israel libró su territorio de mano de los filisteos. También hubo paz entre Israel y los amorreos.
14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel juzgó a Israel todos los días de su vida.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 Él acostumbraba ir cada año en un camino por Bet-ʼEl, Gilgal y Mizpa, y juzgaba a Israel en todos esos lugares.
16 He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
17 Después regresaba a Ramá, pues allí estaba su casa. Allí también juzgaba a Israel, y allí edificó un altar a Yavé.
17 His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to Yahweh there.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 7:9–12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapters 7–8)

    … were confused, and fell before Israel and were overcome; [then] he took one stone and set it up between the old and new Massephat [Mizpeh], and called its name Ebenezer, which means "the stone of the helper," and said, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us."
